Abstract
A play structure for an indoor or outdoor playground is disclosed. The play structure comprises an inner molded unit made of poured-in-place (PIP) rubber subsurface. The PIP rubber subsurface is poured with a mixture of rubber buffing and urethane configured to deliver improved safety, playability, and reduced maintenance requirement. The play structure further comprises a synthetic outer layer adhered to an outer surface of the inner molded unit. The outer layer adheres to the outer surface of the inner molded unit using an adhesive layer. The play structure further comprises a flat bottom surface configured to mount over the playground system and a top surface with different angles. A set of play structures are shaped and arranged on the play surface to develop core strength, balance, and coordination in toddlers by walking, jumping, and climbing on them. Further, the play structure is provided in different design configurations.
